Default lowering springs eibach 1.2 drop...anyone done it?

Hi,

I just bought a set of lowering springs. Eibach pro kit 1.2 drop. Right now i have the sport suspension. Will i even notice a drop with these springs? i know that Eibach is notorious for sagging, should i expect a bigger drop than 1.2? if anyone has used these springs, can you please post a picture with them on the car so i can get an idea of what to expect. I have been dying to know what i am getting myself into here, so let me know.

Thanks

it will drop it. i had the USP springs on it b4 this and it lowered it further. My driveway is a little messed up so unfortunatly you dont get the whole effect. Even with the eibach i can still bottom out very easily.

I will post my pics today or tomorrow, there's no gap in my car... damn... just go with coilovers SO you can transform into stock in winter, and become low-rider in summer.

coilovers would be great, but i am on a budget...and these springs cost me 180 bucks brand new.

I also just bought the 18 RS6 rims...i just want no gap between the wheel and the fender. hopefuly this does the trick.

I'm really wondering what Eibach has done to get such a good reputation here in north america ?
